Halloween & shopping for pumpkins

Some of the children were pretending to go shopping, so we further developed this play by enhancing the role play area with a till, some money and shopping bags.

The children have got very involved in this role play and have also been telling us about their own experiences of going shopping and what they get from the shops.

We have built on this interest by talking to the children about Halloween and writing down what they thought we might need to buy for Halloween. We then all walked to Lidl to choose and buy a pumpkin for Nursery.

The children enjoyed cutting up the pumpkin and discovering what was inside it and some of them decided to draw and paint their own pumpkin pictures!
